Clear Estimates Remodeling Estimating Software

1 Review (4.3/5)

Clear Estimates is a construction estimating system created by remodelers, for remodelers. The company is run by an award-winning, father-son team with years of experience in the remodeling business.

Clear Estimates allows contractors to create estimates, produce bid requests, draft proposals, manage customers, and more. It integrates with QuickBooks and allows you to export project estimates and customer information into the system. It also relies on the well-known RemodelMAX database for material and labor cost information. This allows you to get up-to-date pricing from over 400 regions in the country.

While originally intended for remodelers, the system can be customized to meet the unique needs of most trades, so long as they are working on residential projects. This includes custom and production homebuilders, design/build firms, finishing contractors, roofing and siding contractors, and other specialty contractors. It is designed for smaller companies that generate less than $5 million in revenue annually.

Clear Estimates offers a unique pricing model. Even though the software is deployed on-premise (i.e. installed on your computer), you pay month-to-month instead of a large upfront sum. Additionally, there is no minimum contract. This is an appealing option for small, independent contractors.

I have tried other software in a 4 month voyage when I started working back in construction. The other software was a NIGHTMARE and you have to pay additional fees just to understand it. Clear Estimates seemed to have ease of use and great customer service. The guy you speak with is VERY nice and understanding of your needs. The only downfall is that it does not have Commercial bidding prices. If it did, I would use it for that as well. Try it yourself for his initial fee of I think $5.00. The first time I tried it out, I canceled it before the end of the initial promo and had absolutely no trouble getting my refund. After test-driving other software, I came back to Clear Estimates since it seemed to meet many of my needs. Very easy to use once you get initial coaching.
